Re: Fingerprint Fade?


 

No, Bob. I read a lot of detective, espionage, and mystery. That comes up a lot.

I only use the 6 digit code to unlock my stuff, when I can remember the order they supposed to be in.
If I¡¯m out of my body when they take my phone, I ain¡¯t telling anyone my passcode.

You could always wipe your hands on your pants. ;-)

As for cold weather, if your fingers develop wrinkles as they tend to do when in water for a while, then you might have a problem.

Mine have age creases, but it seems if the creases are stable, no problem once the button is trained to recognize them. Now that I think about it, maybe these creases will just replace the actual fingerprint. Or supplement it?

It is not always predictable when you need to make a phone call. But I agree, if you are only playing with apps, you shouldn't be handling your phone with dirty or wet hands.

Not serious enough for a hospital visit or even calling a doctor, but you could also cut your finger at any time.
In warm weather, there could be perspiration (i.e. wet) on your fingers that you haven't noticed.

Just curious, but would fingerprints change in very cold weather?
